[Elecraft] KX1 Receive Audio

[Bill Johnson]

Dana, glad to help.  I was a field tester and remember the internals to some degree.   I loved that little radio which I lived through hardware and software updates.  I now use a KX2.

Thanks Bill; the KX1 has the antenna tuner and 30m.  The 30m option is soldered in, but I did reseat the tuner just now and that may have well fixed it.  I appreciate the suggestion!

Dana,  you might want to re-seat the tuner and any other internal connectors.  You didn't indicated which options are installed.
Have a great day!

I have a KX1 that I hadn't used in awhile but I got it out recently.  Works
fine - made a couple of contacts with it - but the audio has some
"artifacts" at times.  Usually they are very quiet, and they  go away when
I hold the radio in my hand.  Some sort of odd grounding issue of some
sort?  I hear the artifacts even without an antenna.  It comes across as
clicking, almost always very quiet - you can hear it best if you turn down
the RF gain.

At any rate, the radio is quite usable but I thought I'd see if anyone else
has this issue.
